As expected, Tamer Hosny’s wife Basma Bosil gave birth to their firstborn daughter in the United States. After months of debate, the starry pair named their baby girl “Taliyah” (reader of the Quran).

Tamer couldn’t be more pleased. In a phone call with Sayidati.net, the hot shot singer said that he was on cloud nine, and his daughter was the joy of his life. “I feel like singing and hugging everyone who loves me, because I am so happy, and I want everyone else to be happy as well.”

He described seeing his baby for the first time as a life changing moment. “I am a dad now,” he said.

The songster will stay in the U.S. to care for his wife and be with “Taliyah” as well as continue working on his new international album before the concerts start back up.
